Calibration and applications of visible imaging cameras on the C-2U advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration device

Calibration and applications of visible imaging cameras on the C-2U advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration device

August 2018 | E. M. Granstedt | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper

Two filtered, fast-imaging instruments, with radial and axial views, respectively, were used on the C-2U device to visualize line emission from impurities and hydrogenic neutrals.

Measuring dynamic fast ion spatial profiles with fusion protons in the Madison Symmetric Torus

July 2018 | R. M. Magee | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper

Neutral beam injected fast ions play a dominant role in both the field reversed configuration (FRC) at TAE Technologies and the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed field pinch (RFP), making fast ion diagnosis a major pillar of both research programs.
